Was this rule not brought in to stop the need to play extra games to get in / out of play offs when teams where level, thus not prolonging the season ?

Yep, the reason the rule is brought in is correct. They just wrote it completely arseways! To say scoring difference in the mini league is more important than actual points gained in the mini league is the height of nonsense.

Strange one, and very unlucky to any team who ever lose out due to this!
Don’t know why they go through the extra hoops of having head to head for 2 teams and any more than that a mini league - why not just save extra confusion and lines in the rule book by saying mini league for all ties (if it’s only a 2 team tie then the mini league will give the same result as head to head anyway!!)

But 100%, should be a mini league in the traditional form (most points wins) and not a scoring difference one.

Who do you lads think will win the playoffs to go up? I think raheny will even though they’ll have to play two away games. I just think they’ll be stronger then everyone else and they’ll have Fenton and Howard back too.

I fancy Raheny also to go up they seem to be the form team and I’d say Olafs will struggle to recover from throwing the league title away. Be very cruel on them though. They have a lot of outsiders playing for them but if they keep them I can see them going up next season.

I don’t know they could have. I think crokes had two teams in div 2 a few years ago too. I think it will be the first time a club has had two teams in div 1 if they go up. I wouldn’t put it pass them either they are a very good team.
